For example, when the vapor pressure of the magnesium is low, that is, at lower tempera-` reaction zone. The flow should not be sov fast, of course, that magnesium passes unreacted out of the reaction zone.
One of the important advantages of the process of this invention is that the reaction between the magnesium and the reacting gas is enabled to proceed to substantial completion. By the methods known to the art it has not been possible to produce magnesium nitride of controlled degree of purity. In those methods where solid metal, even divided as finely as possible by the comminuting processes available heretofore, has been reacted with a nitrogen-yielding gas the surface of the magnesium particle has reacted and thereby become coated with a hard and impervious layer of nitride and, as a result, a considerable amount of the metallic element has remained unreacted. In the method where a mixture of Mg vapor and CO 1s brought into contact with nimonoxide to give magnesium oxide and the yield of nitride has been negligible if perceptible at all. These disadvantages are overcome by the process of the present invention wherein magnesium is vaporized, conducted to a reaction Zone and there brought into contact with a nitrogen-yielding gas. In the absence of a substantial proportion of an oxygen-yielding gas, nitride is formed predominantly. That is to say, when the magnesium vapor is brought into contact with a nitrogenyielding gas in the presence of a proportion of available oxygen, magnesium oxide is formed until the oxygen supply is exhausted. The formation of nitride then begins. When it is desired to prepare highly pure nitride, the presence of available oxygen in the reaction zone is undesirable, but where a highly pure product is not required the presence of a small amount of oxygen is not objectionable. vBy using gases which are free of oxygen and moisture a substantially pure nitride is prepared.
The drawing illustrates an apparatus which is suitable for one method of carrying out the process of this invention. In the drawing, IU is the heating furnace which is preferably made of graphite blocks and contains annular heating space II into which magnesium, as in the form of magnesium crystals, is fed through a tube I2, suitably made of a glass section I3 and graphite section I4. Carrier gas, in this case hydrogen, is fed in at I 5 and acts to maintain a positive pressure along the path of travel of the crystals, preventing magnesium vapor from backing up and depositing in this line. If desired, the graphite inlet tube can also be heated, as by an electrical resistor coil. The graphite furnace I0 is heated duces nitrogen, or ammonia,
, heated toV aboutY 800 not exceeding 900 formed deposits as a fairly hard coating on theY by a globar element I6 which extends through a central conduit I7 which is sealed oi from the heating zone.
The vapors from graphite and is suitably heated by a resistor element I9 also. Gas ring 22 surrounds the area adjacent to entrance of tube I8 into reaction chamber 20 and introgas into intimate contact with the magnesium vapor stream. Inlet tube 23 for this gas, leading ably heated by an electrical resistor, to raise the temperature of the incoming gas to at least 300 to 400 C. and the temperature may preferably be raised to about 700 C. Ring 22 has apertures 2l on its inner face adapted to cause nitrogen, or-ammonia, gas to impinge directly on the magnesium vapor stream as it issues from tube I8.
Reaction chamber 2U can be made of steel or tion of the reaction by] means of resistors 24. It about outlet tube 26 which conducts the gases, comprising for purposes of i1- lustration hydrogen and excess nitrogen or excess ammonia, to removable top portion 21 whence the gases issue through tube 28. The issuing gas mixture may be separated and its component elements re-used, or it may be burned 01T. Within cap 2l is another baille device 29, which acts to product of reaction is removed from chamber 20, and from cap assembly 27.
In an example of the method of carrying out this invention, 3 grams of magnesium crystals per minute are fed to heating furnace I0 and at the Furnace I0 1s heated by globar element I6 to 1110 C. as measured by a thermocouple in well S0. Magnesium vapors flow by way of tube I3 to reaction chamber 20, which is C. to initiate the reaction, and as the vapors enter thereinto they are intimately mixed with a stream of nitrogen, preheated to 600 C., and entering through apertures in ring 22, the nitrogen being introduced at of reaction chamber 20 is discontinued, and the temperature is maintained close to 700 C. and C. The magnesium nitride walls and baiiles of the reaction chamber. removed by scraping and is a yellow granular solid, containing magnesium nitride, the remainder being magnesium oxide Aand magnesium hydroxide. AclvantageouslyV in this example, the
the reaction chamber. Excess gases pass oit through cap assembly 2'! which is at about 300 C., a further quantity of the nitride being recovered therein. y
In another example, 2 grams of magnesium crystals per minute areV added to the furnace I Il and hydrogen introduced at I5 at the rate of V3 liters per minute. The furnace is heated to 1090" C. and the mixture of magnesium vapor and hydrogen passes to reaction chamber 20 as in the example above. The reaction chamber is heated to 700 C. Ammonia gas, preheated to 600 C., is
introduced through ring 22 at the rate of 3 liters per minute. It reacts with the magnesium vapor to give a magnesium nitride which is a bright yellow powder and is very active.
If desired, a mixture of ammonia and nitrogen can be reacted with the magnesium vapor. Other carrier gases, such as helium, argon or the like can be used instead of hydrogen. Where large Volumes of vapors are treated and the heat of reaction tends to cause excessive rise of temperature in the reaction zone, the reaction zone is suitably cooled, as externally with cool gases or the like.
It is advantageous, in order to further the reaction and to increase the yield to the maximum, to maintain the reaction chamber at a temperature at which the magnesium and nitrogen-yielding gas have time to react, and at which magnesium metal evidently does not condense to a solid before it has reacted. It has been found that the reaction zone is preferably maintained at a temperature of from about 400 C. to about 1000 C. when the reacting gas is ammonia, and preferably from about 600 C. to about 1000 C. when the reacting gas is nitrogen. Similarly, the temperature of the incoming reactant gas, e. g. nitrogen or ammonia, is preferably just high enough to prevent condensation of magnesium to the solid metal before reaction occurs. Thus when the reaction zone is at a relatively higher temperature and the flow of magnesium vapor is relatively slightly slower, the temperature of the incoming reacting gas may be relatively less.
In the appended claims, the term oxygenproviding" gas is intended to mean a gas containing oxygen available for reaction with the magnesium vapor, including gases containing free oxygen for example, air, and gases containing combined oxygen, for example, carbon monoxide.
